This was the first vacation in a long time where I my debts did not increase significantly.
In fact, my total debt only increased by $38.00 because of my vacation.
The rest of the money I spent was all cash I’d saved for the trip. Or, like the plane tickets I “purchased” with frequent flyer miles, wasn’t even out-of-pocket money at all.
Through it all my bills and other expenses all continued to be paid on time and in full.
And I have money for my day-to-day expenses until my next paycheck.
Is this all a sign of financial health? At the least it means, to me, that I’m well on my way to finally getting the whole “money problem” solved. 42 isn’t too late to learn this stuff, is it?
